Transmission is a Richmond 5-speed (doug nash 4+1). Synchros were worn out so I upgraded to better forged bronze ones (synchros are the same as the super-t10 4-speed but the t10 uses better material). The input shaft bearing was also shot and needed to be replaced so I did both front and rear while I was in there. Hardest part of the whole ordeal was getting the snap rings holding the synchro hubs off. Took two people, a gnarly set of snap ring pliers, and some sore ass hands but it finally gave up.

Just got done driving it over an hour and it shifts great and would totally encourage anyone to give this a try. It was actually pretty straightforward job and didn't need any crazy tools or a press only a bearing separator kit and some decent snap-ring pliers. Oh and some swearing... Maybe a lot of swearing 😆

Gonna go drive the shit out of this thing now 🤘

It almost doesn't matter that it's painted 18 different shades of blue either
